"SLIP" light appears

here's the story, when making sharp/hard left/right turns i notice the SLIP light would appear for a second or two and sometimes it blinks during the turn.

after the turn the SLIP is gone or stops blinking.

this only happen after i install my JIC coils, sways, and rear SPC camber arm.

does anyone have any idea whats the cause for this?

I just broke 1100 and floored it for the first time and j got the slip sign too. I figured it might been cause the road was wet and it didn't have perfect traction or something...

If it does NOT blink you are operating the car improperly.....
Help yourself with the e-brake so you hug the turns as you supposed to.

Is that with VDC on or off? Was your car actually slipping?

Please view the basic info on VDC and TCS that your car is equipped with. Safety-> Enhanced Control. Watch the video.

I am sure that is pretty normal. I also drive an AT and that happened to me yesterday. I was making a u-turn and a car was coming so I gassed it a little in the middle of the tun and I saw the SLIP light come on.

My car is stock except for Betty's Grounding Wires,

Yeah, the reason the light is coming on is because the car is "Slipping." My on ramp to the freeway has a little bump in it so everytime I go to work, I'll hit this little ledge, and see the SLIP come on for a second.

You're just pushing the car, and its telling you when it looses traction momentarily, like someone else said if its always on you should be driving on ice, or in a drift competition, because at that point you'll really be slipping.

its pretty much just letting you know that the system has detected slip, and is attempting to fix it.

Maybe you are just taking turns harder now that you have more confidence in your car w/ the suspension mods you got

Yeah, with stiffer suspension it will pop on more often when you encounter bumpy road conditions. Your tires aren't going to stick down as much as before with the softer suspension.
